Electricvity A Present from God?


Some foreign (non-Japanese) viewers might wonder how they could select and access reasonable or informative Japanese Web sites, Homepages, and blogs if they have some translation capability of a human or machine.

My suggestion is to use the following real-time site-listing page:
http://a.hatena.ne.jp/branch/simple

The site lists updating status of various selected Japanese sites, including governmental offices, news agencies, other social bodies in addition to blogs and sites set up by influential politicians (Foreign Minister Mr. Katsuya Okada, Health, Labour and Welfare Minister Mr. Akira Nagatsuma, Foreign-Affairs Committee Chairman of Lower House Mr. Muneo Suzuki, Lower House Member Mr. Kenji Eda, Upper House members Mr. Ichita Yamamoto and Mr. Hiroshige Seko of the LDP, ex-lawmaker/minister Mr. Katsuhiko Shirakawa, etc.), critics, academic researchers, journalists, lawyers, professors, notable bloggers, unidentified online writers...

[For your assurance, EEE Reporter is included there for unknown reasons, since {nominal} Christians account for only 1 percent of the Japanese population. It also indicates an effective English level of the Japanese elite.]

Finally, other foreign (non-Japanese) viewers might wonder how they could select and access the Imperial Household Agency, since Japan is the only nation where an adjective "imperial" is a substantial word.

SECTION I: The Word to Light


(To be continued...)




SECTION II: From Mass to Light based on EEE-Annihilation Diagram

When an electron collides with a positron (a plus charged electron), both the particles disappear and light (a gamma ray) is generated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilation

My point of view is that the size of an electron is determined by the wave length of the light on this collision.

And, the diagram below tells why a pair of an electron and a positron can turn to light but a pair of an electron and an electron cannot.

It is so, since a positive charge has a plus half (0 to 180 degrees) of a sine wave and a negative charge has a minus half (180 to 360 degrees) of a sine wave to form one complete (0 to 360 degrees) wave length for complete light newly generated.




If an electron has no negative charge and a positron has no positive charge, the two particles will still be pulled to each other due to gravity.

Each gravitation wave must have one quarter (90 degrees) of a wave length, so that their phases match to form a "half" wave length of the fundamental space energy.



For the question on the size of an electron:
The gamma ray or the light generated after the annihilation has energy equivalent to 511eKV per particle; thus using a well known equation, E = hC/λ = 12.40/λ (angstrom), the wave length λ of the light generated is calculated as 0.0121 angstrom = 1.21/1000,000,000,000 = 1.21E-12 meters.

From the above EEE-Annihilation Diagram, the diameter of an electron must be around this wavelength. So, the conclusion is that the size of an electron (positron) has an order around minus 12th power of 10 with the unit of meter.

One authentic, scientific article supports this conclusion, since it claims that an electron should be regarded as an permanent current with a size of 1E-12 meters.

http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110004854944/en

Finally, effectiveness of the EEE-Annihilation Diagram is here demonstrated.

*** *** *** ***

So, what is a lesson to be learnt?

Prevention of the global warming depends of a decrease in use of crude oil, coal, and natural gas mostly in generating electricity, if it is mainly ascribed to a CO2 concentration level or an amount of energy released from those fuels.

But, electricity is a controlled flow of an unmeasurable number of electrons.

Yet, our civilization does not mind how large an electron is, since mankind finds no practical value and significance in the size of an electron.

So, praising the God who created the universe and the electron, I presented one idea about the size of an electron: 1.21E-12 meters.

(If the diameter of an electron is expanded to the one of a baseball, the ball would be proportionally expanded to have a diameter 150 times larger than the distance between the earth and the moon or almost half of the distance between the earth and the sun.)

Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Mat 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Communications, Computing, and Chattering at a Corner of the Universe


The God said this morning to me, "Be generous!"

I then saw a young woman wheeling a handcart with literally barrowful big packages on the side-way of a busy national road and then up on a concrete ramp between commercial buildings, since she wore a uniform of a certain carrying company.

As she was so busy trotting along, pushing the business trolley up and away on the paved lane, I was just seeing her passing by the side of some corporate workers smoking outside the building under a blue sky of the early winter around Tokyo.

You might simply think if she was rich, she would not dare to take up such a job, running on the street pushing a handcart for some salary.

Yet, I think it could be a holy duty for any rich young woman to train herself by doing the same job as the female worker of a transportation company does to please the God.

This is my thought in a morning of the month of Christmas.

Mr. Michael Moore yesterday on a Japan's NHK TV program said that he has been attacked by the mainstream media, though he simply loves good and old days around Detroit or so.

Indeed there are still 100 million Americans enjoying their life sharing the paradigm on the world with the three major networks.

But, apparently, 100 million Americans seem to become alienated individuals in the society constructed and aimed to provide a very comfortable environment to the rich and the winners.

Their gap seems to be further widened in an accelerated manner.

So, the three major networks must be oriented to a mission to unite the people. But, if motivated economically and financially alone, they will probably fail.

On the other hand, or from a political point of view, American Judaists highly involved in the broadcasting/film industries might not take the situation seriously, since they are not responsible for a plight poor American Christians face while watching TV.


SECTION II: NATURE NOT BY CHANCE

If there is no God, the nature must be more at random.

People would not even see a God in the nature without mentioning any laws of physics and mathematics.

In the Godless universe, a chance that mankind can utilize the nature by discovering various laws and orders is very nil, since a human body itself might not be built so well.

----------
In physics, fundamental interactions (sometimes called fundamental forces) are the ways that the simplest particles in the universe interact with one other. An interaction is fundamental when it cannot be described in terms of other interactions.

The four known fundamental interactions are electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction (also known as "strong" and "weak nuclear force") and gravitation. With the possible exception of gravity, these interactions are mediated by the exchange of gauge bosons between particles.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction
----------

However, as the Graviton (a source of gravity) and the Higgs boson (a source of mass) are yet to be discovered, I think the current paradigm in Physics on the universe is wrong.

The following is my paradigm (EEE-Material Paradigm):

1. Universe
A. Space (the primary state of energy)
B. Time (the primary state of energy)

2. Interactive Energy (the secondary state of energy)
A. Gravity
B. Light
C. Others (weak and strong elementary interactive force)
D. Dark Energy (?)

3. Matter (the 3rd state of energy)
Any entity to exist in the 3D space with a time axis needs mass to fix it as matter in the universe.

.... ...... .... ...Gravity.....Electromangetism....Strong.....Weak
NEUTRINO... ..1.... ... ... .0... ...... ........ .... .. ...0.. ........1
ELECTRON... ..1..... .. ... .1... ....... ....... .... ... ..0... .......0
QUARKS... ... .. .1.... .. .... .1... ...... .... ...... . ... ...1.... ......1

(Note: A core of an atom is made of some neutron(s) and proton(s) which consist of quarks.)

From the above table, you can easily see that the dark matter must be:

.... .... ... .... .. ...Gravity.....Electromangetism....S.....W
DARK MATTER....1..........0... .. ...... ....... .... ...0.......0

Yet, there might be one without mass but with a size, thus regarded as a kind of matter or the 4th or last state of energy.

... ... ... .....Gravity.....Electromangetism....S....W...Size
DARK SIZE....0..........0.... ....... ...... ..... ...0... ..0.... .1

Trillions of trillions years later, the whole universe might turn to only dark sizes after consuming all the energy and matter.

Now, be aware of the God here and there, on a page of the Bible, on a stone, on a leaf, or on a computer display!

It was an IBM general purpose computer, called a mainframe, that I first used a keyboard attached to a CRT monitor display functioning as terminal equipment of a computer.

Then, I mainly used a keyboard/display terminal connected to a middle-sized computer called mini-computer in a certain software development plant.

Then, I mostly used a keyboard of a personal computer set up as a terminal of a mini-computer network system or a commercial PC communications system using a dial-up modem.

Subsequently, I have been using a PC connected to the Internet via servers of providers.

But, the more I use a keyboard, the less I write handwritten reports, letters, and various types of memos and documents.

In future, through a more convenient method a networked mobile-device user will be able to put in character codes into the screen of the device.

Yet, I hope that such a device will be equipped with a tablet screen on which a user can write characters and letters, even of a very small size, directly by the hand using a special pencil without pushing keys.

Indeed, there was an era when only selected people were allowed to manipulate a computer.

Indeed, Bill, it was in 1969 that Apollo 11 reached the moon without aids of a PC and a cellular phone as well as Windows Operating System...

Joh 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

Joh 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

ELECTRICITY FOREVER?


Of course, I once learnt some about basics and applications of electronics in school and on the job while learning computer science and production engineering without abandoning my quest on industrial pollutions and environmental hazards, decades ago...though Christian priests in churches simply thought I was more foolish than they, self-deceived Bible readers and unforgivable players before a holy cross, since I came to their churches like a foolish soul.

There are some people in this world who are worse than those who insult poor people in person or in public only because poor people have poor goods.

Anyway, the Vatican will not forget that a big earthquake hit a city near Rome recently without a holy reason conceived by them (yet there seem to be some foolish priests who do not understand that the Gospels were originally compiled by seniors of the Vatican founders)...


SECTION I: Numbers, Data, and Information

Let's check the state of the U.S. auto market in November:

---------

GM..............150,305........-1.5
Toyota........133,700........+2.6
Ford............118,215........-0.1
Honda..........74,003........-2.9
Chrysler.......63,569........-25.5
Nissan.........56,288........+20.8
...
Mitsubishi......2.925.......-42.6
---------

Though the yearly sales of cars in America are expected to be over 10 million in 2009, China has now the largest car market in the world.

In the past five years, car production in China has more than doubled while it has decreased by 50% in America.

In 2008, Japan was No.1 in terms of the number of cars manufactured; China No.2; and America No.3.

Yet, in 2009, China might become No.1.

But, remember a car has been called Devil's wheels by some even in America.



SECTION II: Electrons

Every car today is equipped with various types of electronics.

Without electricity, no economics theories today can maintain their proud grounds.

So, I recommend students and professors to study hard electronics, though electricity is nothing but a kind of flow of, usually, more than trillions of electrons over atoms and molecules.

Now, this most basic entity called electron has still many mysteries.

Mankind does not know yet its size, including as to whether the concept of a size is effective for an electron.

James Maxwell (1831-1879), Thomas Edison (1847-1931), and Albert Einstein (1879-1955) all could not measure it. Even today no scientists and engineers know it.

(For an image of an electron in an atom, http://www.geocities.jp/hiroyuki0620785/k0dennsikotai/1elctron.htm )

However, as the size of a space an electron needs to turn to a black hall is 1E-57 (1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) meters, it might be close to the size of an electron, since it can be calculated from a mass of an electron.

Yet, according to a superstring theory, 1E-35 (1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) meters looks reasonable as an electron is an elemental particle.

However, some people are really arguing this issue.

(http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=141401 )

In summary, in the minimal stage of material, the concept of a size is different from what we think of, since it might be no more three-dimensional.

What I want to stress is that an electron has both the energy of mass and the electromagnetism.

Number, Number, Holy Numbers if Restricted


SECTION I: AFGHANISTAN

President Mr. Barack Obama said in his address on the Afghanistan strategy today, "Our new approach in Afghanistan is likely to cost us roughly $30 billion for the military this year."

The land area of Afghanistan is 652,225 km².
The land area of California is 403,932 km².
The land area of Japan is 377,914 km².

The population of Afghanistan is 28,150,000.
The population of California is 35,484,453.
The population of Japan is 127,288,419.

The land of Afghanistan is a little smaller than Japan and California combined.

The population of Afghanistan is 100 million smaller than Japan's or 7 million less than California's.

Yet, you can build 1,000 new big buildings in Afghanistan with $30 billion, if one big modern building needs $30 million for construction.

Then, we can see another Dubai with 1,000 modern buildings in Kabul.

No young Muslims join the Taliban movement or AlQaeda if they can find jobs in Kabul where more buildings than in Dubai are going to be built with massive workforces.


SECTION II: GRAVITY & LIGHT

One of the greatest mysteries in the universe is that light has a finite speed: 2.99792458 X 100,000 kilo-meters/sec.



An energy level light has depends on its frequency of its magnetic field and electric field.

Logically, an infinite volume of mass can be assumed; an infinite number of a frequency of light can be assumed.

But, as a matter of fact, no infinite speed of light is allowed, since it is about 300,000 Km per second.

In addition, an infinite length of time can be assumed logically.

(Only a material with a mass of "0" can move at the light speed. Only light is, unconditionally, such a material so far as mankind knows.)

*** *** *** ***

Logically, almost an infinite scale of money can be generated through high-speed computer-based transactions.

Yet, everything in the nature on the earth is almost finite.

Yet, everything about a man is almost finite.

The God sometimes shows His power by setting restrictions on anything than can be logically increased to the infinite scale.

Yet, as I once wrote, the infinite for man is another form of "0" in a sphere near Heaven: the unreachable bottom line.




Mar 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, what buildings are here! there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

SECTION I: HISTORY OF ENERGY

Fundamentals of economy are of course energy and technology, since capital, labor forces, consumers, and regulators cannot easily discover, develop, and commercialize energy and technology without expertise in this field.

----------
History of Energy in the United States: 1635-2000

...
The most striking of these entrances, however, is that of petroleum and natural gas. The curves depicting their consumption remain shallow for several decades following the success of Edwin Drake's drilling rig in 1859, but begin to rise more steeply in the 1920s. Then, interrupted only by the Depression, the curves climb at increasingly alpine angles until 1973. Annual consumption of petroleum and natural gas exceeded that of coal in 1947 and then quadrupled in a single generation. Neither before nor since has any source of energy become so dominant so quickly.

----------

If you observe the earth from the outer space as an extraterrestrial being, you would surely focus on the use of energy by mankind to see the state of welfare of mankind but not on the use of money.

Indeed, according to the energy conservation law and the law of increase in entropy, you, an extraterrestrial being, would estimate some rise of ambient temperature on the earth.

But, if you, an extraterrestrial being, are a historian of the space, you would surely understand that mankind entered the era of petroleum after the American Civil War that was fought in early 1860's.

As in Japan, economy also drastically changed when the last samurai regime fell in late 1860's, we can easily understand implication in the observation by the extraterrestrial being.

We cannot solve fundamental problems of economy today as long as we are still in the era of petroleum.

We cannot solve them forever; but we can leave them and enter a new era of new energy sources.

Japan and the U.S. should cooperate in this enterprise to pave a miracle way for glorious prosperity of mankind in the 21st and the 22nd centuries...


SECTION II: GRAVITY

Mr. Toshihide Maskawa (Masukawa), a Japanese winner of 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics, for the first time traveled overseas when he visited Stockholm, Sweden, to attend the Nobel award ceremony, though he graduated from Nagoya University, Japan, in 1962.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshihide_Maskawa

His young friend, one of co-winners of 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics, Mr. Makoto Kobayshi has been mainly in charge of attending academic meetings held outside Japan for decades or until 2008.

But, very recently Mr. Masukawa was invited to Korea and China, and made some speech to students there.

He encouraged South Korean and Chinese students, saying that they would soon see Nobel Prize winners from their countries, because it is almost 30 years since the two countries, so close to Japan, started to evolve into modern society.

The very bigoted genius Mr. Masukawa seems to be still very much interested in gravity, since its "effective" work range is too small in comparison with, say, electromagnetism, though gravity reaches to the infinite distance no matter how small it is.

As I once wrote the energy of electromagnetism acts orthogonally against gravity.

Accordingly, the energy of electromagnetism cannot be converted to gravity.

No matter how much you receive the electromagnetic energy from the sun or your cell phone, your weight does not increase.

But, in what coordination or in what manner electromagnetism and gravity cross each other is a big question.

So, I thought that light, the original form of electromagnetism, slides on the surface, while gravity becomes hollow from the surface of the energy space which must have four or more dimensions.

However, when this material universe was first generated the two types of energy, light and gravity, must be one. But, a negligible moment later, they were forever separated at a right angle.

(The Einstein's equation, E = mc^2, suggests this background, since m is mass and c is the light speed. If m is lost, energy is released in the form of light with reasonable energy. Maybe it can be called a phenomenon at a crossing point of the two axes of mass and light.)

Just like this, there are two or more elements in the space of a human mind that have no compatibility to one another.

The energy induced by money and that by God cannot be interchangeable.

*** *** *** ***

In contrast, economics must deal with many interchangeable elements.

Maybe, the total amount of real and virtual money in a nation must be compatible with the total amount of assets and capacity of producing assets...

War, Religion, Economy, and Miracles

The last Sunday (11/29) morning and night witnessed miracles around me.

I heard the terrible news that a big rain fell and big floods occurred around Mecca.
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/11/2009112974923490434.html

I happened to view "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" on the Discovery Channel over a cable TV service.
http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/tomb/explore/explore.html

It might be related to my recent writing about Dubai, praising Allah, and my recent celebrating the coming season of Xmas in this blog.

Of course, a big miracle is that the global economy has been sustained over this year despite that scale of the debacle on Wall Street, though Japanese banks are estimated to suffer one billion-dollar defaults in Dubai.

Yet, people in the world are expecting some miracle in the process of the Obama Administration's operation on Afghanistan, since it was in Afghanistan that Mr. Osama bin Laden and his terror fighters started to launch attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. eight years ago.



SECTION I: ECONOMY AND RELIGION

I am not a critic who receives big money from a TV station by contributing to their sinful programs.

Neither am I a teacher in economics or social science who loves higher status society offers in exchange for contribution to upkeep of its regime without any desire for holy betterment.

----------
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC ECONOMY

...
According to Holton (1992, 54-69) the basic principles of economics of liberalism as outlined here, represents an amalgam of ideas derived and adopted from a range of sources. These include the 18th century economist Adam Smith, the neo- classical school of economics and more recent post-war economists such as Milton Friedman. The basic principles of this tradition include the following:

- Private Property Rights,

- Individual Sovereignty,

- Self-interest,

- Rationality,

- Self- Regulating Market.

...

From Islamic view, as in other traditional civilizations, economics was never considered as a separate discipline or distinct domain of activity. Consequently, there is no even a word for economics in classical Arabic. The term of Iqtisad (economic) being a fair recent translation of the modern term "economics" in Arabic and having a very different meaning in classical Arabic. Where it means primarily moderation and keeping to the golden mean as witnessed by the famous book Ihya Ulum-id-Din, Gazzali. (1971,265).

According to Sadr (1994,51-55), the Islamic economy is composed of three basic components, according to which its theoretical content is defined. Thus it is distinguished from other economic theories in terms of the broad lines of these components, which are:

- The principle of multi-faceted ownership;

- The principle of economic freedom within a defined limit;

- The principle of social justice.

The principle of multi-faceted ownership

Islam differs essentially from capitalism and socialism in the nature of the principle of ownership, which it acknowledges.

Capitalist society believes in the private individual form of ownership, i.e. private ownership. It allows individuals private ownership of different kinds of wealth in the country according to their activities and circumstances. It only recognizes public ownership when required by social necessity and when experience demonstrated the need for nationalization of this or that utility.

Socialism society is completely contrary to that. So common ownership is the general principal, which it is applied to every kind of wealth.

However, the basic characteristic of both societies are not applicable to Islamic society because Islamic society does not agree with capitalism in the doctrine that private ownership is the principle, or with socialism in its view that common ownership is a general principle. Rather it acknowledges different forms of ownership at the same time. Thus it lays down the principle of multi-faceted ownership. That means from Islamic viewpoint ownership is accepted in a variety of forms-instead of the principle of only one kind of ownership, such as, private ownership, public ownership and state ownership.

http://www.accountancy.com.pk/articles.asp?id=100
----------

Ownership is meaningless for believers, since they admit that all the gold and silver on the earth belong to the God.

Yet, money could remain as an instrument for proving a right to utilize goods and services.

In this context, the last war for mankind should erupt between those who love money and those who hate money.

After the war, each government might simply start to print service tickets, goods coupons, and food stamps while forbidding use of the terms "money" and "interest."


SECTION II: AFTER GREAT WAR

I do really think that the war between troops from Rome led by Augustus and forces led by Antoninus and Cleopatra had a grave influence on psychology on Israelites of the era in terms of security and economy. And then, 30 years or so later Jesus Christ was born.

It was 1970's that history reached 30 years after WWII. If another Jesus Christ had been born in 1970's, he must have already started his another mission, since it is 2009 this year:

----------
How did World War 2 affect the US economy?

A:...

- The U.S. was in large part lifted out of the great depression by selling strategic goods and materials like tools, machinery, petroleum, metals, and grain to both sides since we were neutral at first. Once we were sucked in by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the economy shifted into overdrive and measures had to be taken to keep inflation from soaring out of control. After the war was over, the seeds of our modern "Consumer based" economy had been sown and grew like wildfire. Technology had taken great leaps forward. Before the war women rarely worked outside the home and only in limited professions. Afterwards the women who had worked to support the war and replace men in the Services liked the money and independence their own jobs gave them and they stayed in the workforce. Finally, we shifted in a massive way from mostly farming to mostly manufacturing jobs and services. Europe was devastated by the war but the U.S. emerged more militarily and economically powerful than ever.

- Economists of the Keynesian school propagated this idea that World War 2 was good for the US economy. In particular, a government economist who did central planning and price fixing during the war named Paul Samuelson wrote economics textbooks that became widely used in schools. Most modern economists these days are not Keynesian. Destruction is never productive. War does not boost an economy. The benefits are short-lived and shallow. Many economists believed that FDR prolonged the depression for many years with his "New Deal" policies and therefore the depression lasted into World War 2. The war did not end the depression. The end of the war ended the depression.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_did_World_War_2_affect_the_US_economy
----------

WWII changed American views on the world.

Yet, the Korean War and the Vietnam War helped Japan launch its economy eventually into the orbit of the world No.2 scale.

And, the end of the Cold War freed some American people so that they could fully get involved in the commercial stage of competition as executed on Wall Street.

People happy in war, religion, or economy still, I have to conclude, do not need the God.

Rain in Mecca, the Jesus' tomb discovered even if other Jesus', and Japanese miracle economy do not change this holy teaching of Jesus Christ, either.

They have been building another Tower of Babel in Dubai.

It is impossible to think that Allah would overlook the money city prospering while over the Persian Gulf Iraqi people, namely Muslims, are suffering from war and terror; Iranian people, namely Muslims, are facing possible war and terror; and Afghan people, namely Muslims, are facing intensified war and terror.

However, young Muslims had better go to Dubai rather than to Afghanistan if they are determined to fight the Devil equipped with Christian money (euro) and Christian/Judaist money (dollars), since Tower of Babel in Dubai is not based on money Allah has authorized.

Dubai, part of the oil-exporting United Arab Emirates, said on Wednesday it would ask Dubai World creditors and Nakheel to agree to a standstill on billions of dollars of debt as a first step towards restructuring.

Dubai World, the conglomerate that led the emirate's expansion, had $59bn of liabilities as of August, most of Dubai's total debt of $80bn.

Nakheel was the builder of three palm-shaped islands off Dubai.

SECTION II: CHRISTAN MONEY, JUDAIST MONEY, & ISLAMIC MONEY

If you use, except in case of paying tax to them, money Alexander the Great and his successors produced, you cannot be a descendant of Israelites.

If you use, except in case of paying tax to them, money Caesar and his successors produced, you cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ.

If you use American dollars or Christian euro to build new Dubai, will Allah still bless you?

Indeed, money, weapons, and drugs do not arrogantly mind different religions among consumers.

There is a strange theory, as you know, that the Great Depression in 1929 was caused by a wrong bookkeeping system.

Indeed, equipped with advanced computer systems, Wall Street avoided a total collapse in the fall of 2008 as FRB could provide huge amount of dollars without fatal errors in calculation of credit outstanding.

Yet, there is a chance that exchange rate fluctuations can lead to a great confusion in the world economy while the key-currency principle supported by the U.S. dollar becomes so ineffective and turns to be an impediment.

As for Japan, the Japanese Government should print as many as governmental yen bills (not of the Bank of Japan) to buy up American dollars as many as possible to settle the rate to 100 yen against 100 cents.

Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Joh 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

THANKS GIVING TO XMAS WITH A MEMORY OF A SPRING


They said that 49 million American children are not provided with sufficient foods.

It is because their parents do not have good chances in business and the labor market.

It is because too much competition being driven from Wall Street has damaged American Antitrust Law so much.

I mean that if you have 10 moderately big automakers in the U.S., such as GM1, GM2, GM3, and Ford4, no American children would suffer shortage of provided foods as their parents can work in, say, Honda3.

Enemies to Xmas are apparently on Wall Street, Children!

(It is so, since WFP recently announced that the number of worldwide starving population and famine victims for the first time reached one billion level in 2009.)


SECTION I: BETHLEHEM ON APRIL 2, 2002

I suppose I was watching the scene on TV around Tokyo in 2002, since Israelis found machine-gun-armed enemies in Bethlehem:

April 2, 2002

Massive gunfire began at at 6:00am. After being up all night he was planning to go to sleep when massive tank shelling and more began. "When we take a risk and look out the window we see a few Palestinian resistance fighters….F-16s flying overhead…"

The internationals in Aida Refugee camp… I made sure I got their names and passport numbers…I spoke to consular official and gave them phone numbers….camp has been hit by fire from helicopter gunships…targeted by sniper fire from Continental Hotel…which has been taken over by the Israeli military…our ability to hinder an attack is about nil at this point.

Media Gary talked to yesterday: Channel 7, Hendricks Sybrandy; Tyler Lopez, Channel 2; John Montgomery, Channel 4, FreeSpeech TV for one hour;

As I was talking to Gary there was Israeli tank shelling more than one round per second.

The Latin patriarch was planning to lead a mass this morning in Manger square to intercede with invasion…word got out to the Israeli and they made sure to invade Bethlehem before he could lead prayers….

Camps are cut off from Bethlehem with tanks….our internationals are cut off…

Some Arab Americans tried to get help from the American Embassy in vain as they happened to be caught by this battle around the notable Christian church in the birth place of Jesus Christ.

They thought that they could have gotten efficient help if they had been Judaist Americans.


SECTION II: BETHLEHEM ON APRIL 2, 2002 (2)


Of course, there is a reasonable explanation on what happened, since it is the 21st century but not in the first century before the fall of the Temple of Jerusalem

----------
What Happened at the Church of the Nativity in April 2002?

On April 2, 2002 armed Palestinian Arab terrorists forced their way into the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, one of Christianity's most sacred sites, the birthplace of Christ. In the midst of over 200 nuns and priests, they sought refuge from Operation Defensive Shield, the Israel Defense Forces action against suicide bombing activity originating from West Bank locations. For 38 days, until May 10, 2002, the world watched as the gunmen refused to surrender their positions inside the Church. Only Israeli restraint and respect for the Christian shrine prevented the Palestinian desecration from turning into its destruction.
...
Finally, on May 10, after 38 days, the crisis concluded with a negotiated plan. Thirteen "senior terrorists" departed for Cyprus by British aircraft, to be dispersed among various EU nations. Twenty-six more were transported to the Gaza Strip where they were to be put on trial for terrorism. But their arrival in Gaza was greeted with a celebration and they were treated as heroes. One hundred twenty-four other Palestinian Arabs inside the Church were set free.

After the Palestinians' departure, the IDF was invited inside by Church officials to look for explosives or booby traps. An IDF spokesman said that 40 "explosive devices" were found in the Church compound. The IDF reported that seven Palestinians and no Israelis died in the confrontation at the Church.

The Church was not seriously damaged, but cooking utensils, trash, and clothing were strewn around. The debris of the occupation, and the smells of the unsanitary conditions, lingered.

It is very important, since it is the very situation where Christians, Muslims, and Judaists were converging on the birth place of Jesus Christ with arms, weapons, and associated powers outside or in the world.

Every historian must further study implications of this bloody event in Bethlehem in the spring of 2002, since Xmas of 2009 is getting closer.


SECTION III: BETHLEHEM ON APRIL 2, 2002 (3)

President Mr. Bill Clinton was busy in his last days in the White House to promote peace in Palestine based on the Oslo Accords (Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements) signed in 1993.

However his efforts turned to a pipe dream as the Second Intifada, also known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, started in late September 2000, since Yassir Arafat walked out on negotiations at the Camp David Summit in July 2000 and Mr. Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount without friendship from Muslims in September 2000.

Finally, with the tragic event of the 9/11 Terror of 2001, President Mr. George W. Bush took charge in the Palestine matter, a result of which was the siege of the Bethlehem church.

Yet, as a large scale of bloodshed involving many Christians could be avoided, Palestine has been allowed to remain rather calm thereafter all through the War on Terror up to date.

Now, what lessons President Mr. Barack Obama and Secretary Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton have learnt from the Bethlehem siege are likely to influence the state of Xmas of this year and in future.


(I was highly impressed by Israeli armed vehicles besieging the Arafat's office compound and building, and also an Arab father and his son trapped along a wall in the middle of an exchange of fire [on September 30, 2000], during my observation of TV reporting in those days over the 9/11 Terror...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Aqsa_Intifada )

*** *** *** ***

So, this is the first Christmas present to you of this year: the memory of Bethlehem On April 2, 2002.

It is so, since a Christian church served as an instrument of peace while billion Christians, Muslims, and Judaists were watching on the day.





Luk 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Luk 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

HISTORY RICHER THAN MONEY

To your surprise, any first-rate Japanese enterprise is not free from evil of a criminal syndicate.

In the case of the construction industry, gangsters are estimated to blackmail in a customary manner construction companies and subcontractors into paying 3% or so of a total project cost in exchange of refraining from causing troubles on site or in vicinities (which would require more than 5% of the project cost and very long time to solve it thorough a legal channel).

If it is so in Japan, how bad situations are in China, Russia, Mexico, and Iraq or Afghanistan?

Yet, "money fixes the matter" is a stupid attitude any presidents and executives of businesses should not take.

In this context, you had better say, "Not money but justice that pleases God!"



SECTION I: 500 Years Before A.D. 1

Two thousand and five hundred years ago, mankind started to prepare for great development of its history beyond the birth of the Son of God, Jesus the Nazareth, to the decisive era of 2000's, namely 2500 years ahead from 500's B.C.

----------
587/586 BC: Jerusalem falls to the Babylonians, ending the Kingdom of Judah. The conquerors destroy the Temple of Jerusalem and exile the land's remaining inhabitants. Babylonian Captivity for the Jews began.

580 BC: Pythagoras of Samos, Greek mathematician and discoverer of the Pythagorean theorem (c. 580 BC– c. 500 BC)

563 BC—Birth of Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha in Lumbini, Nepal (d. May, 483 BC

537 BC: Jews transported to Babylon are allowed to return to Jerusalem, bringing to a close the Babylonian captivity.

510 BC: Establishment of the Roman Republic.

501 BC: Confucius is appointed governor of Chung-tu.

500 BC: Darius I of Persia proclaims that Aramaic be the official language of the western half of his empire.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_century_BC
----------

It is summarized below:

1. Around 500 B.C., Israelites found that they needed a book, a holy book instead of a holy temple, since they could be lost in war and be exiled leaving a devastated holy temple in Jerusalem..

2. Around 500 B.C., Greek scholars set foundation of the modern science, since everything depends on geometry, including Einstein's works and genetically engineered foods.

3. Around 500 B.C., the Buddha started barefoot preaching of his transcendent philosophy establishing a religious sphere, which was later uniquely developed in Japan leading to its great global success in the 20th century and beyond.

4. Around 500 B.C.,ancient Romans started to establish their power base which was virtually extended to the modern global hegemony of Europe at large.

5. Around 500 B.C., Confucius and other Chinese wise men set the foundation of the great east Asian civilization teaching and practicing their own schools of philosophy, which were specifically later inherited by Japanese as principle guidelines for their 800 year-long rule by samurais and samurai spirits.

6. Around 500 B.C., Aramaic, the language later Jesus Christ used, started to diffuse under the rule by Persians.

Indeed, 500 B.C. is a miracle century without which mankind must be still living a kind of the Stone Age even today if not extinct.

Students and professors in the world must study 500 B.C. before delving into any holy books, in my humble view.



SECTION II: STUDY ON THE NATURE OF MONEY

Though it is based on the status in 2006, it is interesting to know:
---------
Total Currency Flow
Japan: $700 billion equivalent
USA: $800 billion

Total Coin Flow
Japan: $40 billion equivalent
USA: $37 billion

Share of Coins in Total Money
Japan: 5.7%
USA: 4.6%

However U.S. dollars supplied by U.S. Government exist outside the U.S. in the ratio of 3:2 to those inside the U.S.

Generally speaking, an average American carries real money, not plastic money, in an amount of a ratio of 1:5 to that carried by an average Japanese in his or her pocket or purse.

(http://www.chikawatanabe.com/blog/2006/09/post_4.html)
---------

I don't know how the Council of Economic Advisor to President Mr. Barack Obama has explained to the President and Vice President the nature of the American dollar; but its final authority comes from the U.S. presidency.

Jesus Christ solemnly taught that coins circulated in regions subject to the Roman Empire belong to the authority of the Roman Empire.

However, as the Vatican with the Pope virtually succeeded the Roman Empire with the emperor, America made some adjustment introducing "IN GOD" into its authority base.

Once using coins is admitting authority of Caesar.

Today, using dollars is exercising people's right as sovereign who delegates its power to the president.

"What is Caesar's, including money, to Caesar you return obeying my order," is a holy word.

"What is the American people's, including money, to the American people you return obeying my order," should be a holy word.

But, who took it out of the hand of the American people? The Devil??

Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

KING IN CHARGE OF THE CENTER OF THE WORLD


A veteran Japanese engineer who had been abducted by tribal insurgents of Yemen was released without damage.

He said that he had not feel a danger to his life while being put under a kind of house arrest.

Yet, he reportedly still wants to finish construction of a school building in Yemen as he was engaged in the work when he was abducted by armed tribal men.



SECTION I: FIRST KING OF ISRAELITES

Originally, Israelites who revered Yahweh, their God, did not have a king.

It is so, since their God is the One who liberates slaves.

It is so, since their religion that revers their God is one that never approves a man's rule over others.

Accordingly, Israelites did not have a king of their own.

But, Israelites were weak in war. Other tribes with their own kings were strong with disciplined and organized soldiers subject to their kings.

Naturally, Israelites came to want to have their own king so as to be strong in war:
----
1Sa 8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

1Sa 8:20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

1Sa 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.

1Sa 8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
----

Consequently, Saul became King of Israelites to reign the united Kingdom of Israel between 1047 - 1007 B.C.

It is so, since one day Samuel, a holy judge, saw Saul walking toward him. Yahweh, their God, then said to Samuel that Saul should be the First King of Israelites.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul#Anointed_as_king

In this way, 1000 years after God's selection of Abraham, Saul was selected as King of Israelites by God and Samuel and other leaders of Israelites.

And, 1000 years after Saul, the First King of Israel, mankind saw the King of mankind, Jesus the Nazareth, very reasonably and holily.


(The second king of Israelites is David who reigned both the kingdoms of Judah and Israel between 1004 and 965 (970) B.C., though King David had been a mercenary soldier hired by then prevailing Philistines.)



SECTION II: EUROPE VS. ISLAM

Roughly speaking, the west of Jerusalem is Europe and the east of Jerusalem is Islam.

(The south of Jerusalem is Africa; the north of Jerusalem is Eurasia.)


(To be continued...)






Mar 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mar 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

"Not With Me is Against Me"

If the unclean spirit went out of the Government, of each Japan and the U.S., it could come back with seven worse spirits unless economy is sufficiently improved in a year or two.



SECTION I: ECONOMICS AFTER POLITICS

If you think that there is no problem while 40% of the people in a democratic nation is poor, you do not need economics.

If you think that there is no problem while 60% of the people in a non-democratic nation is poor, you do not need economics.

If you think 10% of rich people with power commanding police and military, like in today's China, the past Soviet Union, or the Roman Empire, can completely control 90% poor workers, you do not need economics.

And, every economist agrees to the notion that expectation and judgement on future by consumers and investors change the status of economy.

Indeed political situations and expectations have a strong influence on people's expectation and judgement on future and thus on economy.

Accordingly, it is not a simple theory on dynamics of demand and supply that decides the status of economy but how democracy is executed nowadays in the 21st century.

(If the U.S. economy is improved, it is apparently due to a kind of the Obama effect.)



SECTION II: POLITICS AFTER CHRISTIANITY

It was found by academic researchers, namely anthropologists, that any society in any era of mankind has a concept of a god or gods as its guardian(s).

Social order of mankind was originally built around a god or gods. (Old men were naturally regarded as close to a god or gods than younger ones.)

But why?

It is because all the wild and ambitious fools who tried to be a leader or a king without respecting a god or gods inevitably failed and lost in any society of any era, specifically since the era before the Stone Age.

Only those who revered and feared God enough succeeded and won to be a leader or a king.

That is why even ancient Greeks and Romans needed myths, religions, gods, and religious ceremonies to maintain their prosperity.

Originally in human population, first a god or gods were revered, and then people started to compete to be a leader or a king through political or armed competition

So, that is why the E.U. needs the Vatican; America needs democracy and Israel; and Japan needs Shintoism shrines and Buddhist temples, while they could produce unlimited quantity of products and goods in addition to money based on their intellectual, industrial, and military power.

*** *** *** ***

Indeed, it is said in Japan traditionally that there are seven enemies waiting for him if a man steps out of the gate of his house.

But, if seven samurais combined, they could conquer evil force that have harassed poor farmers like in the movie of Akira Kurosawa, which was subsequently adopted to Star Wars.

Anyway, Christianity starts when you leave a privileged religious organization of any sort, in my humble interpretation.




Luk 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Luk 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

Luk 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

Luk 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Prelude to Final 2000 Years of Mankind

It is a national holiday today in Japan, though I am busy working.

SECTION I: KING HEROD

It is interesting that in the year Maxwell died Einstein was born (namely in 1879) just like in the year Marx died Keynes was born (namely in 1883).

(Indeed, in four years around 1881, the world was going to reach its summit in history in terms of knowledge and intellect.)

Accordingly we may assume that when King Herod died in the year 4 BCE in Jericho after a long illness, Jesus Christ might have been born in 4 B.C. +/- 2 years.

Yet it might be apocalyptic that his tomb was discovered in May 2007:

Archeologist: King Herod's tomb desecrated, but discovery 'high point'

By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Staff

...
Herodium, a fortified palace built by Herod some 12 kilometers south of Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Romans in 71 CE.
...
Herod, also known as Herod the Great, is credited with expanding the Second Temple and building Caesarea, Masada, and many other monumental construction projects. He died in the year 4 BCE in Jericho after a long illness.
...
At Herodium, Herod built one of the largest monarchical complexes in the Roman Empire, which served as a residential palace, a sanctuary, an administrative center and a mausoleum. Herod first built an artificial cone-shaped hill that could be seen from Jerusalem, on which he constructed a fortified palace surrounded by watchtowers that he used solely in wartime.

Following Herod's death, his son and heir Archilaus continued to reside and Herodium. After Judea became a Roman province, the site served as a center for Roman prefects.

With the outbreak of the Great Revolt, Herodium was seized by the rebels, but then handed over without resistance to the Romans following the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE.

Herodium was not only the tomb, but the headquarters for the ruler of Palestine subject to the Roman Empire when Jesus Christ was born and lived.

Jesus Christ and His disciples must have surely gotten a glimpse of this great fortress town Herodium while they were marching into Jerusalem.

Yet, the 2000 year-long period of history must come further closer to the end with this symbolic discovery.

SECTION II: From Alexander the Great to Jesus Christ

The father of King Herod (74 BC - 4 BC) became a friend of one of the last princes of Hasmonean Kingdom of Israel (140 BC –37 BC).

The father of King Herod and his friend prince tried fervently to receive a favor from Roman General Pompeius (106 BC-48 BC) who eventually defeated another prince of the Hasmonean who tied up with Persians.

As time went by, the power shifted to the hand of the father of King Herod from his friend nominal prince, as Pompeius invaded the Temple of Jerusalem and did not authorize restoration of Hasmonean Kingdom.

But, as Caesar (100 BC - 44 BC) defeated Pompeius in a civil war, the father of King Herod with his son tried fervently to receive a favor from Caesar.

Yet, as Caesar was assassinated in a kind of civil war, the father of King Herod with his son ran to, and tried fervently to receive a favor from, one of betrayers of Caesar who got in charge of governing Palestine.

However, as the father of King Herod collected too much tax from Israelites to satisfy the Roman Governor, the betrayer of Caesar, he was killed by angry Israelites.

Soon, Antonius (83 BC – 30 BC) rose and defeated those betrayers of Caesar; King Herod ran to, and tried fervently to receive a favor from Antonius and Cleopatra (69 BC – 30 BC).

Then, as Antonius and Cleopatra were defeated by Octavianus (63 BC – AD 14) in a full-scale civil war, King Herod tried fervently to receive a favor from Octavianus, since the mother of Octavianus was a niece of Caesar.

Accordingly, King Herod could preserve his position as the ruler of Israelites, living in Herodium until the emergence of Jesus Christ.

Hasmonean Kingdom of Israel was established through war against, and eventual compromise with, a kingdom based on Syria one of generals of Alexander the Great had founded.

When Cleopatra, a descendant of one of generals of Alexander the Great, faded away from history, the last remnant of the shadow of Alexander the Great also faded out from Palestine.

Now, everybody stands before the gate to the last 2000 years of history, waiting for the holy intervention from the God, since it was too much the sub-era of King Herod.


(If King Herod had died in 1996, he should have been born in 1926 or so. Accordingly, Cleopatra should have died in 1970 or so. And Octavianus should have been still alive as Roman Emperor Augustus.

Indeed, it was just a matter of yesterday or is still of today beyond the 2000-year span...)

In America today, up to 85% of corn crop is genetically engineered; up to 91 percent of soybeans are, too.

In Mexico the worst economic crisis since WWII has forced many poor women to be engaged in drug-related crimes while suffering sometimes fatal violence from male criminals.

Indeed, advanced chemicals developed and produced as a fruit of these 2000 years history cannot be much trusted, though many people are actually working in the industrial sector all over Japan.

Anyway, I hope that you are not infected by the swine flu which looks like a product of some strange genes.

Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
